Sunday Sports Betting Features NFL Divisional Playoffs at …

It’s another big day for NFL Football as the second installment of the weekend’s NFL Divisional Playoffs get underway, with two huge games today featuring first the Baltimore Ravens at home against the Houston Texans, while in the later game the Green Bay Packers duke it out with the New York Giants in a battle between two former Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks. As we’ve got a full dose of games across NFL Football, NBA Basketball, NHL Hockey and NCAA College Basketball, there’s no doubt that a trip down to one of the best online sportsbooks reviewed here for a taste of the action, and for Sunday’s online sports betting, we’re targeting the all-new Bovada Sportsbook as the sportsbook of choice. Bovada retains all the best features and customer support inherent in its parent site, Bodog.eu, but is a U.S. facing sportsbook designed for sports fans in the States to get into the action as well. Though a newcomer in name, the familiarity of Bodog and its reputation as a leader among the top online sportsbooks on the internet should be all the reason you need to bet with confidence at this well-built, easy-to-use sportsbook today.

With the first wagers on Sunday taking hold of the games in NFL football, we’ll peruse the betting lines for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans, where we find Baltimore as a big 9 point favorite to win at home behind their stout defense in the face of the visiting Texans, who were impressive in their 31-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Wild Card weekend. With the odds stacked on Baltimore to win (-340 odds on the money line), this game could favor taking the Texans to cover the points spread, as without a doubt this clash of top defensive squads with relatively weak quarterbacks should come down to within a touchdown’s difference for either side. I like the Texans to be the better rushing team behind Arian Foster and Ben Tate, but with the stingy Baltimore defense going 8-0 at home while holding teams to just 92.6 yards per game, Houston is going to have a very tough time generating enough offense to stay paced with a more balanced Ravens offense. That said, with Houston coming in giving up just 96 yards rushing to opposing running backs, and outstanding against the passing attack, this game should be a low scoring, gritty affair that will see touchdowns coming at a premium. While I’ll take Baltimore to win, I like Houston to make a real game out of it, covering the points spread and just getting beat out on the road against a very seasoned playoff team in the Ravens.

Next up, find the match-up of the day between NFC foes Green Bay and the New York Giants, as the two rematch after a fantastic 38-35 game in Week 13 saw the Pack escape East Rutherford with another win on the season. While the Pack is a big favorite, also at 9 points in this game, expect Eli Manning to step up his game while the New York Giants impressive defense continues to play well and peak just at the right time. In a game that is sure to feature plenty of offense through the air especially, this should make for perhaps the best playoff game of the year, as two physical teams with Super Bowl titles under their belts should be fully geared up for a full 4 quarters of play at the historic Lambeau Field. While I’ll spot up on a Green Bay victory, again I don’t see the Giants being far behind in this one, covering the spread and helping to bust through the over/under set at 53 points. You certainly won’t want to miss out on wagers for this game, as regardless of who prevails, the level of excitement in this match-up is palpable, and should make for a memorable game that is talked about for some time to come.

With a few other dollars at my disposal for wagers on Sunday, let’s turn to action in NBA basketball, as just 3 games are set for online sports betting, with the Golden State Warriors on the road against the Detroit Pistons, the Phoenix Suns traveling to face the San Antonio Spurs, and the high-scoring Denver Nuggets at home once again to take on the visiting Utah Jazz for the second time this season. Golden State, despite their 0-3 start on the road this year, should be able to overcome the scoring-challenged Pistons, I like San Antonio at home to be too tough a match-up for the Suns, and the Nuggets will once again put their 2nd-ranked scoring offense on display as they pull past the Utah Jazz for the second time this season. With a few good looking match-ups for NHL Hockey today as well, make sure to check the betting lines for top games on ice including the San Jose Sharks at Chicago Blackhawks, as well as a classic match-up between the Montreal Canadiens and the red-hot New York Rangers. Don’t forget to peruse the betting lines for NCAA Basketball as well, with a Top 25 match-up featuring #8 Indiana vs. #5 Ohio State certain to be an exciting showdown, and well worth a look at Bovada Sportsbook today to wrap up a plethora of great online sports betting options.
